Hardcover vs Paperback 82

After the sudden death of her beloved older sister, thirteen-year-old Nico finds her life on New England's idyllic Mirror Lake irrevocably altered. Left alone to grope toward understanding, she falls into a seductive, dangerous relationship with her sister's boyfriend. Over one haunted summer, Nico faces that life-changing moment when children realize their parents can no longer help them as she experiences the mystery of loss and recovery. Still, for all the darkness at its heart, Goldengrove is radiant with the lightness of summer and charged by the restless sexual tension of adolescence.

Definitely the paperback. I find the human element on the cover of this book to be very important. I guess you could see something subtle in the hardcover but to me it just looks like a non-fiction story about someone living on a lake. Sounds like an interesting book as well.
